Abstract: A smart loT-based energy meter enables efficient monitoring of electricity consumption. The system measures voltage, current, and power usage in real time. Sensor data is processed using a microcontroller for accurate calculation. Measured values are transmitted through IoT connectivity to a cloud platform. Users can monitor energy consumption via mobile or web applications. Real-time updates help in managing electricity usage effectively. The system detects abnormal consumption patterns indicating possible theft. Unauthorized tapping or meter bypass triggers an alert notification. Alerts are sent to both consumers and utility providers. Data logging supports historical analysis of energy usage. Remote monitoring reduces the need for manual meter reading. The design improves billing accuracy and transparency. Low power operation ensures continuous monitoring. The solution supports smart grid and energy management systems. This intelligent energy meter provides a reliable approach for real-time monitoring and electricity theft detection.
